[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All of my grandchildren love the new swing set. My grandson enjoys climbing up into the fort. All the children spend several hours a day swinging, climbing, digging and sitting at the table enjoying their snacks. This was a great investment that they will use for many years.

The slide won't last it's too flimsy. As for the double swing the hardwear holding it up has already made the holes too big in the soft wood just from the kids swinging on it. Other then that we love it. My four kids are having a ball and stay outside 1/2 the day playing happy as can be.

We've had the playset for almost a year and our kids love it. Install took a while but with the app and clear instructions it was very straightforward. I put on a wood sealer and protector over the winter and the set held up well. I'm very happy with the purchase.

The playground is beautiful but the instructions were horrible. It took my husband and I five days working from 3 to 6 hours each day. He's a very handyman with lots of tools so that made it easier. It took so long because we had to go back and fix things that were not explained in the directions. For example, in the picture it showed to build the frame with the plank on the outside and then 8 steps later, the picture showed the plank in the inside, so we had to undo the last steps to redo the mistake. Then other steps would have bolts in without nuts just to find we were short on nuts and it had something else instead. The roof was very hard to do. You definitely need a big ladder. Once we finished (during Christmas week), our 6 year old was afraid to stand up on the eagle's best because it's too high. The monkey bars are a little too high for our 4 year old. I'm sure when the weather gets better, they'll love being out there.

I put this together by myself in about 26 hours. I am a builder/trim carpenter so I certainly had an advantage, but the directions were great and all the parts and pieces were there and clearly labelled. Some advice though: 1.) I spent about 3 hours unpacking and organizing everything in my garage. I highly recommend sorting all the wood by letter (each board is stamped). Also, I dumped out 2 large screw storage boxes and used them for organizing the fasteners. Cutting the label off the bag and sticking it over the corresponding compartment helped a lot! 2.) start in a garage if you have one. But don't forget to move it out before it's too heavy (or too tall) 3.) there are a lot of small pilot holes and varying hole patterns on the wood pieces, be sure to orient therm correctly or you'll be forced to rebuild or measure and drill your own. That's it, it really was pretty easy, just follow the directions and you'll be fine. It's like Legos for grown ups; I actually had a lot of fun building it.

overall, the bilt app was amazing. there were a couple of sections where the parts weren't labeled but it's was easy to determine the part by the picture and it's also in the instructions. it just makes it quicker to touch ther part to see what it is instead of having to wait for the narrator to get to it. still, the app made a relatively intimidating assembly very easy by breaking it down into simple steps.

We bought this as a combo Christmas present for our 3 year old son and 1.5 year old daughter. It was delivered to our driveway in perfect condition, and I had the parts sorted over the next 2 hours. I constructed the fort 99% by myself in about 34 hours. (The remaining 1% were times when I dropped something while working from the upper floor or crow's nest and my wife stepped in to grab it, hah). The material quality is excellent - I see no reason why this would not stand up to the 10+ years of play I expect to get out of this as our little ones grow into fully using all parts (e.g. monkey bars). The only knock I give against the Skyfort II is that the golden/brass materials used in the swing connections (for decorative purposes over the otherwise black bolts?) were a bit soft. I stripped the ends of 2 gold/brass bolts trying to get them to bite into the gold/brass lock nuts, and there was only 1 spare provided. I was easily able to buy replacement (harder material) bolts on Amazon since all parts are labeled with their specs, but it was annoying to have to wait to "complete" the swingset. As you can see in the pictures, the trapeze had to wait until I had the bolt. Otherwise the only other "complaint" is that you need very level ground - for example making the final connections from the crow's nest to the main building. I had to add bricks under the swing-side support to take tension off these bolts and secure them. I'll have to add dirt over time to level the yard.

We assembled this amazing Skyfort II play set and was delighted to see it come together! The assembly was straight forward and even included spare hardware, even though we didn't need it. We sent our grand kids pictures of the completed Skyfort and they can't wait for their visit to grandma and grandpa's place later this month. I am completely satisfied with this play set and highly recommend the Skyfort II.

We bought and had this assembled this for our 3 year old daughter a week before everything shutdown due to COVID-19. This was probably the best investment we have ever made. It's taught our daughter so much and challenges her with new obstacles daily. She loves the swing and the lookout the most. It is sturdy and has everything we will need from monkey bars, to a sandbox (which we filled with smooth pebbles), and even a bench for some fine dining.

Purchased this for our 3 year old to grow with. Assembly was straightforward and as expected. We had a few issues with some splintered pieces from transportation, but the company was quick to replace them. We sealed the swing set per the recommendation and it’s looking great a year later even in the tough New England climate. Will enjoy for years to come.
